Amanda Hart

I am currently able to take on new clients, please enquire about my availability. 

Please note that all of my sessions take place online, via Zoom or the Cliniko Telehealth platform.   

My usual working hours are weekdays, daytimes and some evenings.  I am not available at weekends. 

Thanks for reading my profile. I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist with wide experience of helping people with many types of issues, however I have two main areas of specialisation:

• Eating disorders/Food and eating related problems/Body image disturbance
• Couples and relationship therapy

I work with adults, young adults (over 18yrs), couples, family members or organisations. I support my clients so that they can manage and deal with issues encountered in their everyday life. I aim to help my clients to make the most of their strengths and resources in order to overcome difficulties they may be going through.

Eating Disorder therapy:

I have extensive training and experience in working with eating disorders and related issues, including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, body dysmorphia, body image issues, compulsive exercise and RED-S. 

Relationship therapy:
I am also a trained relationship therapist and work with couples, co-parents, siblings or parents with adult children on resolving conflict and other relationship problems.

Other issues:
I am also experienced in working with other emotional or psychological issues, including anxiety, depression, problem habits or behaviours, OCD, negative thoughts, trauma-related problems, managing conflict or anger, self-esteem or confidence, and many others, please ask. 

I am based in South Buckinghamshire, however currently all of my client sessions take place online and I can work with you wherever you are based (apart from a few limitations, please ask). 

I am trained in and practice a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Person-Centred therapy.

I am a National Centre for Eating Disorders (NCFED) Master Practitioner and have trained in the Maudsley approach for working with adults with eating disorders (MANTRA), and several other evidence-based approaches for eating disorders and related issues.

I have trained with and worked for Tavistock Relationships, specifically in MBT-PP (Mentalization Based therapy for Parenting under Pressure) and other brief relationship therapy approaches.

I am also trained in Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Brainworking Recursive Therapy (BWRT®).

Although I do not work with people under 18, I am happy to work with parents of younger children to help them to address or cope with family issues, including eating disorders. 

My practice is currently all online. I use secure video call software on the Cliniko platform or a secure Zoom call.   

Please get in touch with me for a chat or more details. I offer a no obligation, low cost, initial consultation. 

I offer a reduced fee, no obligation, initial online consultation of up to one hour during which we will discuss what it is you wish to address, and I will find out more about you.  It is also an opportunity for you to find out about me and to decide if I will be the right person for you to work with.  The fee for this session is £30, whether for individuals or couples.
